Hello, we are Brad and Denise, a Canadian couple who enjoy talking about True Crime. As a truck driver, I have listened to a ton of podcasts. Most cases I listen to, are only in North America. I wanted to teach Denise about True Crime as well as expand and learn about new cultures and laws by traveling around the world. We release every second Wednesday, taking turns on who reads them.

The Mind Renewed is hosted by Dr. Julian Charles (UK) and dedicated to understanding the world in which we live from a Christian worldview perspective. We are acutely conscious of propaganda in the mainstream media, and of the bewildering mass of information in the alternative media. We therefore seek to address matters of concern to people (whether they be 'people of faith' or none) in an unsensational and informed fashion, in the hope that truth will be uncovered and that bridges will be built between people through greater understanding. Therefore, whether it be the Surveillance State, the threat of Global Government, False-Flag Terrorism, the danger of New Religious Movements (NRMs), or any other issue too often ignored by the institutional church, The Mind Renewed analyses, interprets and critiques from a Christian worldview perspective.

Fellowship Bible Church approaches Global Missions a little differently than the norm among American churches, but not through any wisdom of our own. God has given us the connections, the resources, and the vision to partner directly with pastors and church leaders in local churches around the world. So much more than the typical "map and budget" missions program, we invest, equip, and help establish already existing national churches so they can reach their communities for Christ. In this podcast, you'll hear stories of what God is doing all over the world as Scott and Jim, the Global Missions pastors of Fellowship, discuss recent trips, testimonies of life-change, and updates on how we get to be involved in the world. If you're a part of Fellowship Bible Church, you are directly involved in what God is doing in the Global Church. Subscribe to discover how!

Join Julia Symister-David as she looks into public and professional opinions on creating a better society for us all. She will be going into five categories full breakdown, unknown needs, middle ground, timeline, and the present to the future. Middle ground is about trying to find common ground on controversial topics. Unknown needs is about discussing methods and techniques that would lead to a better life for the average person. A full breakdown is looking at different issues and dissecting it thoroughly with a professional of that said topic. Timeline is discussing the impact of the world from two perspectives. The first perspective is looking into old civilizations, then looking at the aftereffects caused by destroying or conquering those different civilizations and if it hindered the human race. The second perspective is how would someone from the past handle modern-day society and would they be able to contribute the same way as they did in their lifetime. Present to the future is looking at the present moment and figuring out how we, as a society, are moving into the future.

There is no limit to the nature of the subjects that are up for discussion.
Culture, food, sports, travel, beer, monarchy, politics, language, plus tons more, will be debated and analyzed (aka. analysed).
Fasten your seat belts, be tolerant, understanding, and have a laugh or two or three.
The added benefit of listening to this podcast for our American friends is that if you travel across the pond, you will be able to hit the ground running and fit right in with the local cuture, and be language fluent (sort of).
